Nice storage trays for $1

[KBigg]

I went into the Dollar Tree the other day in search of some trays for my toolbox and found these. They come in all different sizes, nice thick plastic, and rubber lined on the inside. For $1 a piece im definitely going back for more. Figured id pass this on for anyone who's junk drawer(s) is getting out of hand.

I thought so, they worked out so well I felt the need to share here lol.

haven't seen those, will have to look for them. I do buy the clear plastic ones with the white lids from dollar tree by the dozen!, they're about shoebox sized and fairly stout. I have literally dozens of them in the polebarn, woodshop spare bedroom, etc. filled with stuff. they fit nice in a chest of drawers and/or filing cabinets as well.

Good find, thanks for sharing!

This is my first time seeing them also. They dont have lids though, which is fine by me

no problem

Thanks for the heads up.

I just ran to the local Dollar Tree and picked up ten of them. I was looking for something to organize some end mills and a few other items and these should work perfectly.

Thank you.

No problem I just got home from doing the same thing haha. I picked up 5 more of each. They're worth every penny right lol?

I’m going to grab some. I look at Dollar tree when we stop there for bins like these but haven’t seen them before. Need something to organize some drawers

 

[rsanter]

Thanks, I need about 30 of those

 

[RustNspokes]

Great idea.

 

[MushCreek]

My local DT doesn't have them in stock, but I can order a case of 24. I've got to measure my tool boxes to see how they would work.

 

[CTyankee]

I bought a couple of the narrow ones a while ago. They are a nice storage tray. I was thinking about getting a few more, but actually forgot where I bought them. :tard: Thanks for the post.

 

[Boilerhouse]

I bought a bunch of small containers from the dollar store to organize nuts and bolts. Beats what i had, which was basically that everything was in one big box.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Those look like a couple I bought at Family Dollar, which is owned by The Dollar Tree Corp. I put them in the drawer of the squad for organizing. I think I paid more than a dollar for them. I'll have to check them out when I go back to work on Thursday.

^ seconded.

you lose a decent amount of space with those tapered sides, not a problem with the Schaller bins.

Thanks Travis. I'll keep those in mind if/when I need more.

 

[Steve_P]

The Schaller bins are nice, and inexpensive, but you'll probably spend as much on UPS shipping as you will on bins - I have several times. too bad they're not on Amazon in packs of 5, or similar, as an add on.

 

[AmericanMechanic]

Those Schaller look nice! Thanks for posting!

 

[gnpenning]

Picked up some at the dollar tree in both sizes back when I got my 5 drawer. Went Sat for more and they were out...

Like the straight sides of the Schaller.

 

[CTyankee]

Maybe you do lose some storage room with the tapered sides, but I've always found removing small parts from containers with 90 degree sides a pain. The tapered sides make things easier for me to slide out a part. But maybe it's just me...

I save the gift tins from the chocolates that I receive during the holidays. They work pretty well as trays.

 

[eyeball]

I just discovered the "Drawer Builder" tool on Schaller. It's a drag and drop tool that lets you visually build out a drawer with bins and keeps a running tally of the necessary bins and costs. It's available here: https://www.schallercorporation.com/drawer-builder/

Just a warning on the Schaller bins: The 2" size is too tall for 2" Snap-on drawers. They do fit the 2" drawers in my Craftsman tool boxes.

It might be lol, Its from Pineapple Willy's in Panama Beach lol

For bigger bins, these are super cheap and surprisingly durable.

I have a few dozen in shop use for a few years now - Hot TX temps... not one cracked or detiorated yet.

VERY durable... good plastic compound.

Under $1 each on shelf at Wally world.

They also have the larger one next to it on shelf in store for under $2 each.

Insane deal.

Get one and test it out.

Totally more durable than any clear ones I have had.

[Junkdrawer Dog]

These are exactly what I use to organize my junkdrawer. Pliers in one, screwdrivers another, etc.. Mine came from Walmart.
